SPEAKER SERIES
In Black History Month 2014, Black Benefactors launched its Member Dinner Series – an intimate gathering for members and special guests that featured philanthropists, nonprofit and foundation executives, and corporate trailblazers for a dialogue on giving.
The aim of the event series was to learn from philanthropists how they identified causes to support and their approach to giving, to educate members on strategic philanthropy that benefitted our collective efforts and their giving beyond the circle, encouraged members to identify ways to increase their giving of time and talent, and served as a networking opportunity. Each gathering highlighted a specific topic in the black community and fostered an open dialogue and thoughtful discussion.
